From Wikipedia.
The page on turtles reads: The meaning of the word turtle differs from region to region. In North America, all chelonians are commonly called turtles, including terrapins and tortoises. In Great Britain, the word turtle is used for sea-dwelling species, but not for tortoises.
The page on tortoises reads: Tortoises are a family, Testudinidae, of land-dwelling turtles in the order Testudines. Contrary to popular belief, tortoises are in fact turtles rather than part of a separate group.

So, a tortoise is a turtle, if we’re going by technical classification and not popular naming. His keen observation skills remain intact.

Lol you ghey

That would be possible, were this not a take on the classic Aesop’s Fable, “The Tortoise and the Hare”. Way to try out pedantry, sorry it didn’t work out for you, bro.

Nny

You would have some kind of point if this were the age of Aesop. Unfortunately for your “argument”, this is the modern age where we use modern terms. Regardless of these facts, the Tortoise in Aesop’s fable, was also a turtle. So, even if Cody was referring to the story character as you assumed, he was still wrong in claiming it was not a turtle. This is a story, by the way, that has been retold and renamed over the ages, changing both characters from tortoises to turtles and hares to rabbits and any combination thereof.
Furthermore, if Cody was referring to the specific character, Tortoise, from the story, he would have said “that is THE Tortoise”. He did not use that wording, and instead claimed it was not a turtle in the broad sense. Therefore he is wrong, and your assumption about the meaning behind his comment is wrong.
The man called the turtle a turtle. He was correct. End of story.
Thanks for playing, kid.
